main comparison

Checkmarx gives your team a queue.
Aikido clears it.

Findings in minutes

Aikido is quick to set up, and scans your code in minutes. Checkmarx averages 2 months for implementation.

Triage on autopilot

Aikido AutoTriage drops unreachable and non-exploitable findings out of the box. Checkmarx forces you to define and maintain a custom ruleset.

Fixes in your workflow

Aikido AutoFix generates PRs across code, dependencies, IaC, containers and pentest findings. No automated remediation workflow in Checkmarx.

Aikido code security

Security that fits your workflow and fixes issues for you

Stay in your workflow

  • IDE plugins flag issues on save and offer a fix without leaving the editor

  • Findings and suggested fixes directly in your PRs

  • CI/CD checks catch issues before merging across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps

Only see what's important

  • AutoTriage weighs reachability, exploitability, and code context before issues reach your queue

  • CVE eploitability analysis checks whether vulnerable dependencies are reachable in your environment, not just present in a lockfile.

  • Secrets AutoTriage prioritizes exposed secrets by status and privilege.

Fix issues automatically

  • AutoFix opens reviewable PRs with a working patch across SAST, IaC, container, and dependency findings

  • Fixes can be set to merge automatically

  • Ask Aikido lets developers question findings and refine fixes in plain language.

Secure your entire supply chain

  • Device Protection extends coverage to dev laptops, blocking malware and risky packages before install.

  • Registry Proxy blocks malicious and too new packages before they enter your private registry

  • Aikido Libraries provides CVE-free application dependencies at your current version, eliminating version upgrades for security patches

Checkmarx finds issues.
Aikido finds issues, then ships the fix.

Close risk before it's an incident

Fixes arrive as ready-to-merge PRs, shrinking exposure windows.

Give time back to devs

No manual triage. Developers only see issues worth fixing

Shrink your backlog

Open vulnerabilites shrink over time with less total enginering effort.

"The combination of low false positives and auto-remediation saves our teams hours every week."

“The fastest time we fixed a vulnerability was just 5 seconds after detection. That is efficiency.”
